Unfortunately, the change to .2 and 20% is almost a step backwards, and will not meet my needs.
I am printing detailed parts that I need within certain tolerances as I am trying to prototype some designs I have made. These will need to fit together, and may possibly even be threaded - which I am okay with running a drill bit or a tap through, but I would rather only run them through to help clean up the printed threads. I need known objects such as button batteries and battery pads to fit within the printed parts.
For what I am doing, I really need a 50% or more infill with a .1 layer height. I have no desire to print at .2 or 20% infill, so that isn't going to help me any. I am not concerned with the build time so much as I am overall quality and strength for proof of concept prints.
I know this machine is capable of high quality 1mm layer prints.
Lowering the bed temp to 90 has helped the shrinking on the base layer a good bit. My prints still hold firmly in place with a glue stick. I have been printing at 50% infill with .1 layer height with some success, but my tolerances are still an issue. Holes are printing small. Is this due to the shell setting? How much clearance do you generally leave between parts for shell forgiveness?
What are some additional things I can do to help strengthen my parts against delamination?Last edited by catalyst; 10-10-2015 at 10:58 PM.
